Peace Lily is a brand new plant boutique located in the Cedar Lee Business District in Cleveland Heights. It's located between CLE Urban Winery and Hexagon Books. It just opened 2 weeks ago. Grand Opening was on June 28. This is one of the only plant stores in the city! Definitely the most trendy!
Cedar Lee Business District is DORA district so you can shop with a beverage in hand. It's especially good during Music Hop festival hosted by the city. Or if you want grab a drink from CLE Urban Winery and plant shop.
Store Layout/Inventory: The boutique is green and lush. One of the customers shopping at the same time called it "a green jungle!" It's definitely very trendy - moss checkout, neon lettering for "Tropicals" and "Succulents," and plant graffiti on the walls. The store has a wide range of plants - succulents, olive trees, lilies, tropical plants, palms, and various houseplants. The plants look very healthy and vibrant. You can also find soil, some gardening essentials, and very futuristic pots at the back of the store. In the middle of the store there are very cute mirror accents on the wall. While the store is pretty small, the plants are well organized and leave ample room for browsing. A few customers stopped by during my visit.
There are currently no plans to do online ordering. You'll find a large inventory in store and it's fun to shop here.
Service: The owner Kimberly works at the store. She's very friendly and helpful. She pointed out a few low maintenance plants for me. She is also open to ideas about the store. And she promised to order a specific plant for me. I was looking for a larger spider plant. I especially loved how community-focused she is, and how she kindly talked about neighboring businesses.
Prices: Prices are very reasonable. I bought two 4" pothos plants for $10.59 each. I felt like it was a very good price. Plants came with temporary container and a short blurb about what these plants enjoy. I really need the latter because my plant caring skills are very limited.
Parking: Parking is available in the parking garage behind Merchant Cheese (across the street from the boutique). Parking lot is available behind Best Gyros (across the street from the boutique). There are cross walks and traffic lights available to cross the street. You can also find street parking in the area.
I felt like Kimberly has a true passion for plants and loves her business. Her enthusiasm was great to witness. As one of the other customers pointed out - "finally, a great boutique on Lee." It's absolutely true! If you're looking for budget-friendly plants and trendy shopping atmosphere, check out this place! read more
